Hello,
My name is Johnnie and I was at the Lucky derby last week, I believe it was Chinese New year if I'm not mistaken. Anyway, I was playing 4/8 limit hold em when something strange happened. I was in a pot when the guy next to me bet on the river and I called and the black guy on the end called as well. The first guy showed his hand which beat me so I mucked my cards and so did the black guy sitting in last position. All of a sudden, the black guy asked to see my mucked cards and the dealer showed my A/Q suited that I mucked. I was pretty irritated with this because this can't be standard practice. The dealer then made me feel like an idiot because she said this is a rule at the Lucky Derby. I would like some clarification on this issue. What gives him the right to see my mucked cards because I called a bet on the river. This is ridiculous! I have never heard of any rules like this. When the cards are mucked, the cards are dead. The dealer or the black guy for that mattter, has no right to see my cards. That is just unheard of. If this is a so called rule, I will never play at your establishment again and I will definitely spread the word about this so called rule. I am not trying to be a jerk about this, but this is just unheard of. I have been playing poker for a long time and I have never heard anything about this disturbing so called rule.
Thanks,
Johnnie
